Romelu Lukaku has will complete online coaching courses
Lukaku was one of the non-Italian players allowed to return home from his club after his period of quarantine ended.
Italy has been the worst affected country following the deadly spread of coronavirus with over 80,000 cases.
Their number of deaths have also surpassed China – where the virus originated from – with over 8,200.
Lukaku, 26, along with Borussia Dortmund midfielder Axel Witsel had planned to start their Uefa coaching qualifications during this week’s international break before coronavirus postponed football.
According to the Telegraph, the players have turned to online courses to fulfill their time as they look towards the future.
Manchester City ace Kevin De Bruyne has also expressed an interest in completing his Uefa ‘A’ and ‘B’ badges as he plots a career in coaching when his playing days come to an end.
Lukaku’s team-mate Ashley Young eventually flew back to England after revealing what life was like living amongst Italy’s lockdown.
In a lengthy Twitter thread, the 34-year-old provided a series of practical tips to help fans stay safe while shopping for food in these tricky times.
He tweeted: “Hi everyone, just wanted to share my thoughts given I’m currently living in Italy, the epicentre of the virus.
“Realistically a supermarket is now your main risk at spreading this virus and even catching it. Speaking with family and friends at home it sounds like going to get food is just crazy. Remember, lockdown means lockdown!
“In Italy going to the supermarket is surprisingly calm… no fights over food, no stripped shelves and most certainly no abusing staff members for limiting food or any reason at all! And in almost every case it’s usually just one person shopping for a household!
“Please read the following and share this if you haven’t already, it really is time to do your bit to help tackle this awful global crisis we are in!”
